I haven't watched Far From Home yet because the lead up to Avengers: Endgame broke me and I'm kind of unsure if I can ever watch a Marvel movie again. (Even though the Black Widow trailer kind of intrigues me simply because t lives in the Captain America/Manchurian Candidate side of the MCU which is hands down the best thing they have going.)

Is Far From Home worth it? All I know about it is a cryptic text from Nacho along the lines of "I guess I should have watched Endgame before Far From Home, eh?

So the first half hour is obsessed with and constantly discussing and replaying images from the events of Endgame. By the time you do get to some standard superhero action, it's so big and loud, and you're so exhausted by having Endgame rehash jammed up your ass, that I actually turned it off and moved on to another movie.

This has to be the most schizophrenic Marvel property. It's like a team of monkeys has been trying to get it right since the mid-70s (which, by the way, remain my favorite installments in the franchise...)

My initial thought was that after Into the Spider-Verse, this falls a little flat by going back to the Marvel status quo of bloat. But on second viewing, I think the "school trip to Europe so I can't be Spider-Man" angle is kind of clever... though have we not learned from villain bloat here?
